Premium Pick

This is a tough spot for a turnover-prone West Virginia squad. West Virginia is #326 in Division I with over 16 turnovers per game. They had 22 more the last game, a 62-59 home setback to Texas Tech, the third time in six contests it has topped 20 and fourth time overall. In addition, West Virginia has shot no better than 60.9 percent from the foul line in any of the last three contests. The Mountaineers are 2-9-1 ATS against winning teams, plus 6-15-1 ATS following a spread-cover. This is a tough matchup against a strong Texas team that is lights out defensively, allowing 62, 54, 68, 60, 71, 56 and 47 points in seven of its last eight. Texas is 10-2-1 ATS against the Mountaineers, including 6-0 ATS the last six on this court. Play Texas.
